Guerlain The Voyage Collection Moscou EDT Fragrance Review

April 3, 2012

I love Guerlain but I’ve never been interested in The Voyage Collection. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s their size and price point that keeps me from trying them. *I seriously do not want 8.3 oz. of any perfume. But, I do want about 1.7 oz of Guerlain Paris-Moscow or Moscou, whatever it is called.

Moscou opens as a cherry floral gourmand. The cherry and cranberry are tart and over a rich cherry-almond-vanilla tonka bean. I absolutely love the fruity cherry in this. Florals peek through but they aren’t bright, light or dewy. It almost appears that the florals are there as a filler to connect the fruit to the sweet tonka base. The dry down is a sweet almond, tonka bean, and vanilla with a hint of woods. With more wear, this base gets creamier.

I’m sure you’ve heard it before, but I agree. Moscou is like a high-quality version of Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb. Moscou is everything that I wanted Flowerbomb to be and then some.

Give Moscou a try if you like florientals or perfumes like Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb, Cartier Délices EDP, Sula Vanilla Blossom, Lolita Lempicka, and/or La Prairie Silver Rain. If you are looking for a good cherry perfume, try this. I think it’s very well done.

This perfume has above average longevity and projection for an EDT. It wears more like an EDP. And as an EDP it has above average longevity.

An 8.3 oz bottle retails for $225 and is available at Nordstrom. Why don’t they offer these in smaller, more affordable sizes? * Update – I’m wrong. There has been a change. The scent is now in 3.4 oz bottles for $215.

I’m reviewing what that have at Nordstrom. A giant jug labeled Paris-Moscou EDT. Now what I have Nordstrom smells exactly like what you sent me which is apparently a smaller bottle EDP.
I like to pretend that my complaining caused them to change their bottles but I know that it isn’t true…

They changed the bottles recently. The collection is now in 75ml bottles and the names have changed slightly as well, it’s no longer Paris-Moscou, but simply Moscou. Same for the other cities.
The newest, London, is gorgeous, you should try it if you can, so perfectly spring-y!Olfactoria recently posted..Going Vintage – Review: Guerlain Vol de Nuit Extrait de Parfum

I heard many good comments about this perfume so I want to try it. As well as London – I smelled it on paper and it was very nice but now I’m curious how it’ll smell on my skin.
100 ml bottles are much better. How about 50? (G-d forbid 30 or 15)Undina recently posted..Entertaining Statistics: March, 2012
